Hazardous Waste Disposal
IMPORTANT – When your production is going into prep, you must establish your waste removal procedures immediately, at least 60 DAYS BEFORE YOU NEED WASTE REMOVED. It may take 10 days to get an EPA# and the waste removal company will need 3 weeks' notice to schedule your waste pickup.
Note: California productions will first need a temporary EPA ID before filling out the forms. Furthermore, each location that requires a pickup will need an temporary ID.
There are strict regulations for managing and disposing of waste to meet environmental and legal standards. To comply, Disney only works with two approved hazardous waste service providers. Using these vendors is required, and it involves filling out specific paperwork called waste profiles and manifests, as mandated by compliance laws.
These companies offer a full range of services, including emergency response, providing DOT-compliant containers, proper hazardous waste labeling, and safe transport and disposal of production waste like paint, solvents, hydraulic fluids, engine oil, batteries, and remediation materials such as lead or asbestos. Notably, Arcwood is the sole vendor authorized to handle hazardous materials associated with pyrotechnics or explosives, if such services are required.
